We expect a lot from today’s Commercial Excellence talent. But are we clear on what great really looks like?
As Commercial Excellence roles across FMCGs become broader and more strategic, many businesses are asking the same question:
How do we find, grow and retain the kind of talent these roles now demand?
In our next UK CPG Network event, we’ll explore this challenge through the lens of real career journeys in Commercial Excellence - unpacking how these roles have evolved, what makes them so difficult to hire for, and how the right balance of skills is often harder to define than it is to develop.
From Revenue Growth Management to Shopper Marketing and Category Development, the expectations on Commercial Excellence teams have changed dramatically. It’s no longer just about strong analytics or great stakeholder management - it’s about blending both, at pace, in highly cross-functional environments.
Building strong teams isn’t just about capability, its also about inclusivity and diversity. Creating inclusive, high performing teams means making space for diverse experiences, backgrounds and perspectives.
This session will cover:
- Why these roles are evolving faster than traditional career paths
- What makes them uniquely difficult to fill
- How FMCGs can reshape capability building to close the gap
- Why inclusion is critical to building stronger, more future fit teams
- What “great” looks like today, from those building the teams and doing the work
You’ll leave with practical insights, sharper definitions of excellence, and a better understanding of how to attract, or become, the talent FMCGs need next.
Join us afterwards for drinks, food, and informal networking with peers shaping the future of CPG.
